How to Write a Paragraph

Written by Aja, Kirti, and Brandon

Writing a good paragraph is part of writing a good story or article.  This traffic light will show you how to write a good organized paragraph.


A good paragraph starts with a topic sentence and should have important details about the topic sentence.  A topic sentence is the main idea.  Next, you should give a reason, detail, or fact about your topic.  Then, you should explain a little more about your reason or detail.  Next, you add a conclusion, which reminds the reader about the main idea.  That is how you write a good paragraph.

What is your next paragraph going to be about?
 

Creating an Expert List

Written by Josh, Claire, and Arya

This week in school we wrote expert lists.  An expert list is a list of things you know about.  These are different kinds of categories you can write for an example:  people you know, places you been to, things I've learned, and animals you like.

Expert lists help you write a good paragraph.  It helps you choose a good topic you know about to write.

Have you ever made an expert list?
